Key West, Fl - Fifty years before Henry Flagler's famed train arrived in Key West in 1912, another railroad already was in operation, and workers this week found remains of it on Navy property near Fort Zachary Taylor.

During construction of Fort Taylor and the West Martello Tower, around 1860 and 1861, crews installed a narrow-gauge railroad system to transport building materials and laborers between the two job sites, Key West historian Tom Hambright said Wednesday.
